|
|
| |
“‘investment income’ of a company means income other than estate income which, if the company were an individual, would not be earned income within the meaning of section 3, but, without prejudice to the meaning of ‘franked investment income’ in this section, does not include—
|
|
| |
(a) any interest or dividends on investments which, having regard to the nature of the company's trade, would be taken into account as trading receipts in computing trading income but for the fact that they have been subjected to tax otherwise than as trading receipts, or but for the fact that by virtue of section 129 they are not to be taken into account in computing income for corporation tax, and
|
|
| |
(b) any dividends or other distributions received by the company in respect of shares at a time when any gain on a disposal of the shares would not have been a chargeable gain by virtue of section 626B or would not have been a chargeable gain by virtue of section 626B if paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (3) of that section were deleted.”.
